the lifestory of a DC5S...

i say run a spacer adn camebr it, it'll clear it EASILY! and also give u a hto stance at the rear. Prash - look at my thread, you can see my front wheels hitting the coilover. i got pictures for better insight also!

no spacers for me thank you very much!

where is this thread you speak of? i did a search and could find any threads started by you

that'd just make it worse!

next week..get fitted/balanced/aligned (use camber kit if need be)...if it scrubs..swap stockies on, roll guards and then swap back..unless u guys think 100% i need to roll guards? then would roll guards and get the rest done.

no idea why it only hits on the right probably minute differences in ride height and camber make the difference. 7/10 should be ok, as for spacers i dont see why you would need them if your wheel clears the BBK fine. front has less clearance for suspension travel ie you will bottom out in the front before you bottom out in the back.

get it done!!!! as for rear guard roll you should be able to get away without it with >1.5 degrees and your ride height see how you go and get back to us

sorry, tis me plaything.... and the reason why i suggest spacers is, ur wheels are too close to the trailing arm / coilover.... so u put a spacer to mae it further away.

Prash your going to just have to test fit them, there has been a lot of reccomendations made you regarding camber etc so just choose one and see how it goes. you cant tell hows its gonna fit jacked up without tyres on, i thought u were getting them fitted on wednesday??
